the media-world is a village

Austrians may have heard of this "soft-news"-story already, but I was a little surprised to find the following story in today's free-of-charge Washington metro newspaper express:
For trying to get into jail, you'll go to jail
An ex-con in Vienna was caught last week committing a break-in - at the same prison where he had just spent two years, the Australian reported. Detlef Federsohn had been released from Josefstadt prison after doing time there for theft when police responded to the jail after reports of someone on the roof. Officials thought there may have been a prison break in process, but it turned out to be Federsohn, trying to sneak back in. "Life is so much easier on the inside. They feed you, do your washing and let you watch TV, which I can tell you is a lot more than my mum does," Federsohn said.
So the story went (almost) around the globe - Austria - Australia - USA :o)
